Yup it's official. I did send in my petion saying I've only been on the track 7 times and didn't get a top five in any classes...But that wasn't goo enough ::)
She saw the 1:11 I did at BHF and didn't like it ;D
Oh well just a bigger goal for next year! Besides I wanna play with ole' freinds. Hear that Ike we can play now! Benji I do got some tricks up my sleeve for you! ;D And Janich better watch your back bud! There's a new STUMPY in town! 8)
StUmPy
P.S. Steve-o You comin' to play with the Big Dogs or are you gonna stay on the porch??? :-*
i think i'll play with the big boys too.
i've got a little suprise in the trailer, if i can handle it. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
I'm so relieved to hear that you boys won't all be passing me on the third lap in those combined Ex/Am races anymore! It was getting pretty embarrassing to keep getting my @$$ handed to me by a bunch of snot-nosed amateurs!
How did you learn about your status so soon?
<<Chewing my Nails in Plymouth :-/
Looks like the all the Ams are moving up, I'm looking forward to at least a 3 wave start at RA...

Sounds like FUNN to me!!! tho, I'm pretty sure it's gonna take me time to catch back up to you guys
(judging by the spankin put on me at Daytona)
(and oh yeah, I dont have a bike yet... :-/ )
(I shouldnt bee TOO far behind... 1:11 ??? >:( :-/)
Chef...
1:11? Methinks someone's dishing a wee bit of Uper bull-ogna there...
not to belittle the time, but that was because there were 2 beacons transmitting that day!!!
I think that it was more like a 1:13:01....
oh wait...that was mine ;D
anyway...I'm still excited.
Steve, Stumpy couldn't bear the thought of having to get left behind next year with all of the slow
AM's... so he's changen colors....
At least Jeff Kufaulk can go back to being an amateur with Simon...now that there is a spot open ;D :o
Anthony.... do hear the rumble of a GSXR 1000
in the trailer???

Ahhh... youth is so wasted on the young... Talk your smack skippy. I have no desire to go backwards and I'm pretty sure that not even you could write a successful petition for me to do so.
LOL... Once upon a time I thought the exact way you write right now. Wait til spring. I'm confident your tune will change. While there's a remote chance that it won't (change), I'm pretty sure it will.
Move up and you'll kiss the following things goodbye:
Long leads
Killer launches
Recovering from mistakes
The light will come on bucky, and you WILL be surprised. And I'll be cool enough to simply laugh in silence versus over the loudspeaker such as you so often times choose to do.
See ya on the grid... 8)
Ok, Ok, I thought the 1:11 sounded fast too, But it came straight from my wifes wrist watch :P It was a little off from my lap timer but you can't trust those things ;D Oh Jeff, now you have another RR out there with ya, We'll help each other out..Swatting those R6's off our backs ;)
P.S> White plates do "look" cooler on the bike anyway 8)
StUmPy
Skippy...Bucky....come on Jeff...
it's only cuz you ride RED.....
I can't wait.... to learn.....to do well....to win...
to back up the smack!!!
Benj ;D
I's jus kidden anyway....jeez.
QuoteI's jus kidden anyway....jeez.
LOL..... I know... ;D It's all done outta love...
In all absolute seriousness though, just wait. It's an eye-opener that words can't really describe. You figure since you can run lap times that are very comparable to the top experts that you'll have it in the bag. You won't...
A little mistake as a top AM meant your lead would slim down. A little mistake while running with lead experts means 2-3 people go past you...
It'll be fun no matter what though... ;D :-* :-*
my little mistakes as an AM get me into the care center for bandaids !!!!
I know......and I like it!
hey benji,
i hope i can ride the damn thing.
all the work and the greenbacks that i'm putting into it better pay off.
it's gonna get its first run at nesba track days.
although i might go to topeka and try to steal some double points ;)
Ah...these Irish eyes are smiling ;)
I've got one of those things too you know...
crazy fast...and you can handle it just fine..
Hey Anthony,
All you have to do is remove a plug wire, works everytime! :D Save's on tires too. Are just racing Heavy weight and Unlimited? Or are you racing kids bikes too? (600's)
StUmPy
i'm gonna try race the little boys bikes as well, but with moto gp champion 2020 on the way, i dont know if i can afford to run two bikes, a motor home and a trailer and a few dirt bikes as well.
ice tires are more expensive than i thought but should have them this weekend.tried that ice stuff last weekend.
it's a bit mad,,,,,, :D :D :D, but i like it.
i hope it stays cold for a while, at least until the end of march ;) ;).
hey benji,
which one have you got??
when you gettin the new six.
i will have to win the lottery first.
would love to get a new six..............pack of guinness ;D ;D
maybe 2020 champion is a bit optimistic :)
2024 sounds better.he ( or she) :o will be 20 by then and become the youngest ever moto gp champion ;)
Congratulations Anthony!!!!! Perhaps Stumpy and I should get to work so your little champ has some competition! :D
Heather
Stumpy it sounds like the wife of stumpy's clock is going tic toc tic toc.
I'm glad to hear all of you are painting your # plates I might have a chance to get wood in GTU.

no MORE R6's... geeze its like we are running a R6 cup or something ;D
From the sounds of it(RRW) That new Gsxr1000 ain't got nuttin' on that new 1000RR ;D Thats only hear say though...Til the #'s come out and we really see. RR sounds like its gonna be a ripper though. It took Ben Bostroms breath away..Fastest thing he's ever ridden ::) pleeaassee. even I can smell the BS
StUmPy
Doesn't the GSXR 1000 have to run something that reduces it's power as/per the AMA, like a restrictive throttle body size or something? I thought I remembered that being done so the thing wouldn't be so dominant when they 1st started racing them. If that is the case, I wonder if that restriction was being used on the GSXR and not on the new Honda at the tire tests? That would make a big difference at Daytona. Anybody know the answer to this one?

Well they have to run stock throttle bodies from what I understand.
hey Brian....yep got the 1000 and waiten for the 600...and you? you gonna come down and race with the kids or what?(600)
Benji.
hey stumpy,
i dont care if the honda does have a little more than my suzuki,
no one's gonna be runnin one in ccs this year.
and after all , it is only a HONDA ;D ;D ;D ;D
SUZUKI RRRRUUUULLLLEEEESSSS ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Don't tempt me Anthony!! I'll do it!! Stand back!! ;D
I'm sure that Gsxr is plenty! Speakin' of plenty are you drinkin plenty of drinks this weekend at the "shin dig"??
StUmPy
sorry stumpy,
i'm not goin to the shin-dig,
but that doesn't mean i'm not drinkin this weekend.
have to make up for the wife now that she can't drink for a few years.
once this one is out, there will be another champion in the making ;) ;) ;)
Quoteno MORE R6's... geeze its like we are running a R6 cup or something ;D
LOL ya the Yamaha Cup...To bad they don't pay back 10 places...;)
QuoteLOL ya the Yamaha Cup...To bad they don't pay back 10 places...;)
ya wouldn't be nice if we can be invited to a yamaha cup and maybe get a chance to go to race at the world yamaha cup. Maybe they will catch on?
well I don't even see the 2004 yamaha dates out yet...
Yamaha dates are usually similar year after year...
But come on...
Suzuki pay's $5k for the win at a finale at the same track year after year...ok, one year they had it in California. Before your time...
But Yamaha pays $2k every weekend for two classes for two bikes. I'll take $2k every weekend. Denning took home $8k in Yamaha money at Blackhawk the weekend after Mladin took home $4k from his Laguna AMA Superbike win.
And go check Yamaha parts prices. That alone is worth alone is worth it. Enjoy it while you got it.
I have been knowing the parts price for a while now... ya I enjoy that :D
I thought suzuki pays on the weekend too?
I also have been looking forwad to trying out for yamaha money for a while... finally got the white plate for it. now if Larry would just not show up lol

I hear you Dave....right now Yamaha is the way to go!
Only problem, you have to be really fast to chase yammy money!
8 grand would be a good weekend... ;D
STEVE-O
GOING WHITE WITH YA STUMP !!!!
good to see you got forced up 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D :o :o :o :P :P :P
Quotegood to see you got forced up 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D :o :o :o :P :P :P
YET an AM ULSS stays yellow.
steve, i meant that in a good way, ;),
but, yeah your right.
it sucks that there is one rule for some and one rule for others.
but you will only improve by moving up,
you were a fast amatuer so i dont think you will have any problems.
if its any consilation, i had to move up as well. this will be my first season with white plates.i'm looking forward to it. 8) 8)
Ok, I will say this...
I've watched racers for a long time. For some the transition isn't easy. It can mess with your mind. It's hard ball out there, and some don't do as well as they did the year before. I don't have good reasons, but I have worked with people to overcome those problems.
Yeah, you should learn a few things, but the games are a lot different in the expert races when compared to the amateur stuff. Just an observation.
Games ?
We can play parchesi wil racing ?
So looking at the list,
What was the critera for your petition not getting acepted ? Looks like "WHO YA KNOW"
John Deer ? DO i know you ? I cant think of who you are ? Sorry if this offends you, i didnt think i had ever met you.
I meant an AM SS Champion, is an AM this year.
The one thing that bugs me (I know ill shut up soon)
Now that im an EX i can get Manufacture contingency.
BUT GUESS WHAT !!
My bike isnt new enough for Suzuki Contingency ?WTF !!!!!!!!!
Yeah, think of all the money you'll be making?
I prefer "Risk"...the game of world domination.... ;D
EX#65 JD is Anthony ...green and yellow Yardman tractor paint job... Has an accent from, like, Hawaii or something.... 8)
lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
hawaii, oh yeah dave,
i can just see it now,..................................
god no, bad thought, dave in a bikini again.
please somebody shoot me ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P
LOL, come on...
Grass skirt? ;D
just to stir the pot. Tiffiney posted on here not more than 2 months ago, if anyone finish top 3 in the ROC in a popular class, there should be no reason why he/she should not move to Expert.
Well there is one 2nd/3rd/5th place finisher at 03 ROC that is sporting a yellow plate on the list.
ask thorny how hard it was to beat him ;)
I agree, it's BS.
The amateur overall champion in the MW/GL/GP region in 2003...was an expert in 2002.
You like that too?
personally, I am past that, if thats what they aspire to and what they want to go for, good for them. I just dont think its fair and it is just not a good thing when rules are intepreted in ways that no one understand. A little perceived consistence can go a long way dont you agree?
I think there needs to be a formula where either you go or not. Period no questions. It shouldn't be up to a person to decide. It would make it easier on Tiffany and averyone else....
StUmPy
there is a formula !
I just wont say it on here !! HI Dawn !
